Those present at the launch included media advisor Nitin Tripathi, Alok Mohan Nayak, and other associates.

In the book, Patel has written a section titled “Har Pag Deta Anubhuti”, reflecting on the social, national and spiritual significance of padyatras. He notes that a padyatra is not merely about walking but also a means of introspection and connecting with society. It offers an opportunity to balance the mind, body and thoughts while engaging directly with people.

He also appreciated the efforts of Darshanam Sanstha for compiling and documenting the inspiring journey associated with the historic Dandi March, noting that such initiatives help guide society in a positive direction.

Patel further recalled that on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary, he undertook a Gram Swaraj Padyatra from 16 August to 19 August 2019 to promote de-addiction and the idea of self-reliant villages.
